Mag-log in~Enzo~I stared at this man, waiting for him to tell me exactly what he wanted or why he was here.âFuck it! I donât even know why I'm still here,â he snapped, his voice louder than before.I flinched at the sudden edge, but only for a second. I straightened almost immediately.âThen leave,â I said, firm.âEnzo, listen to me.â He reached for my arm again.I pulled away. âGod, Lucian. How long are you going to do this, huh? Why wonât you just leave?â I snapped, the back-and-forth finally burning through my patience.âI canât,â he said quickly. âI mean⌠I wonât. If you could just let me clear the air.âI turned my face away, breathing out slowly, my chest tight.I honestly couldnât decide if I wanted to walk out that door myself..or lock myself in the bathroom and disappear.Silence dragged on, heavy and uncomfortable.Then he spoke.âIâm sorry.âI stole a quick glance at him, then looked away just as fast, before he could see what it did to me.âLook at me when I talk to you.. please,
~Enzo~âWhat do you mean youâre not sure youâll return tonight?âI pressed the phone tight to my ear, knuckles white, like squeezing it harder might change what Lulu had just said.âSeriously?â I whispered. âBabes, I canât be part of this. Mr Raymondâs a teacher and he knows the rules. What if one of them female teachers goes to your room and neither of you are nowhere to be found?âThere was a pause on the other end..âThatâs what Iâm saying,â she said quietly. âItâs been handled. Just tell Nic to be careful. Make sure she doesnât get caught.âI laughed once, sharp and tired. âHow am I supposed to do that? I havenât even seen her. And Fredrick not being here?â I exhaled. âThat already tells me everything.âI walked across the room, dragging my fingers through my hair.âAlthough I wasn't excited about sharing a room with anyone,â I muttered. âBut since itâs the nerdy goalkeeper, I guess I could manage. He follows rules, so..since he isn't back.. thenâŚâ I trailed off. âYeah. Theyâre bu
~Nicole~Although I was basically living my fantasyâŚ.four guys pressed against me in different places like I was their personal addiction, part of my brain still worked.A tiny, miserable, logical part.Even while another part of me glanced at the wall clock and saw we had only thirty minutes before the search routine began.Even while a sweeter part wanted to stay here forever⌠if the universe allowed it.But the logical part?YeahâŚShe was screaming.Because logically⌠this wasnât normal.Not how they were acting, not how they were touching me, not how they were wanting me.Did they actually want me⌠or was this something else?Some kind of pull dragging all of us under at the same time?How was it even possible that a wolfless Omega like me could have a scent strong enough to pull all four of them into this madness?Wrapped around my fingers like they were worshipping me?A sharp panic sliced through me.What if they didnât remember any of this tomorrow?What if the hickeys, the fin
~Nicole~Right now⌠I still couldnât believe I was actually knocking on this door. My hands were shaking, like Iâd willingly signed up to set my entire life on fire.The door swung open almost instantly, and I froze. Broad shoulders, familiar, too handsomeâŚ.Liam.âHey,â he said, brow furrowed, like he was trying to read my panic through my stupidly wide eyes. âDidnât expect to see you here.âI bit my lower lip, words catching in my throat. âCan⌠can I come in?ââYeah. Absolutely.â His smile was easy, excited. The second I stepped inside, his scent hit me like a punch, strong, intoxicating, and somehow warm.But that wasnât all.My eyes flicked to the bed. Spread out across it like he owned the world⌠Landon. White singlet, joggersâŚsame as what Liam had on, smug grin, entirely too relaxed. Why is he always like this? I couldnât even remember how we got to this⌠weird, almost comfortable truce.âDidnât think youâd come so fast,â Landon said, voice teasing, grin stretching too wide.I
~Nicole~If that saying âkarmaâs a bitchâ was ever true, it was right now.âŚsitting on this stupid tiny bed with Lulu half-crushing my ribs.Okay, not my karma.Hers.Because how else do you explain your ex-girlfriend and her brand-new fling curled up four freaking inches from your bed?YepâŚThatâs Luluâs life tonight.And the worst part? I canât tell if Violet planned this or if the universe is just wicked. Because sheâs supposed to be in the VVIP section with Chloe and the other high-pack girlsâŚnot here, cuddled up with Rain.The giggles alone were enough to make someone want to swallow a pillow whole.Since I got in here, Lulu and I havenât even properly spoken.Just⌠texted.Like right now:Lulu: You sure Iâm not squeezing the life out of you?Me: Nope, totally fine. Donât stress.Huge lie.This bed is microscopic. Lulu is a restless sleeper, Iâm a restless sleeper.Two chaotic girls on one mattress? Disaster.I flopped back onto the pillow and stole a glance at Lulu. Sheâs starin
~Enzo~âWhat do you mean there's nothing you can do about it?â I stared dead at the blonde, Barbie-budget student governor behind the desk.She didnât even blink. âI already told youâŚif you have a problem, go see the teacher in charge.â She turned back to the papers like she was actually reading them.âBut you were assigned to handle all complaints. What is wrong with you?â I flared.âEnzâŚsssh. ListenâŚâ Lulu said, tugging at my arm gently.âNo. Who the hell is she talking to like that?â I snapped.âIâm literally trying to be calm. I donât even want a refundâŚjust cancel my name from the trip. How hard is that?â I smacked my palm against the desk so sheâd stop pretending I was invisible.She glared up at me. I glared harder, and you bet mine was deadlier.Before she could speak, another voice cut through the tension.âIs there an issue?âWe turned..And it was him.The asshole.God, was this my luck? Why does Lucian have to show up on this trip?Worse, Mr Raymond had to put him on stud
